There will be a limited number of Raspberry Pi's for sale at Noisebridge. But to ensure you're not disappointed by lack of availability, you can buy a Raspberry Pi in advance -- Rob says that there is now plenty of stock at MCM Electronics (http://www.mcmelectronics.com/content/en-US/raspberry-pi).

Sadly due to sales and import tax restrictions we won't be able to sell Raspberry Pi's directly at Noisebridge. But you can buy a Raspberry Pi in advance -- Rob says that there is now plenty of stock at MCM Electronics (http://www.mcmelectronics.com/content/en-US/raspberry-pi).
